From the Great Depression to World War II - photos from the American Memory collection
 |
DONNA LAFRAMBOISE aka TripodGirl The American Memory collection contains more than 162,000 images taken between 1935 and 1944 by government-hired photographers. If you were to look at 100 of them per day, every day, you'd need more than four years to view them all. As a photographer, I consider these images nothing short of wondrous. This blog showcases some of them. |

Kitchen Scene
The caption accompanying this photo reads: "Kitchen utensils in a Blue Ridge Mountain home. Virginia."Taken by Arthur Rothstein in 1935, there's dignity in this photo - and a stark beauty. Nevertheless, the image is too gritty to qualify as contemporary "country kitchen chic."
For all the nostalgia we feel about those who led simpler lives in bygone eras, this photo makes it clear that such lives were frequently materially impoverished.
